The 2026 NBA All-Star Weekend has arrived with festivities underway throughout Los Angeles.
The league’s best players will come together for a record seventh NBA All-Star Game on Sunday at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California. This year marks the 75th annual All-Star Game – and it will be unlike any other.
The LA area last hosted the event-packed weekend in 2018.
Two teams of American players will face a world team in a round-robin tournament with four 12-minute games. Each team has a minimum of eight players. Team A will play Team B in Game 1 and the winning team will face Team C. The losing team in Game 1 will face Team C in the final game. The teams with the top two records will compete in the championship.
All-Star Weekend tips off Friday with the Celebrity Game at the Kia Forum in Inglewood. The Rising Stars will finish at KIA the night before in the Intuit Dome before the HBCU Classic between the Hampton and North Carolina A&T men’s basketball teams.
Saturday night will feature the return of the 3-Point and Slam Dunk contests as well as the Shooting Stars Contest featuring four NBA alumni – Richard Hamilton, Allan Houston, Corey Maggette and Ron Harper Sr.
We’ll have all the highlights and best moments of the weekend below.
